Is this a sign that Messi will follow Ronaldo to the Saudi League? usually players entering retirement will move to clubs outside Europe before retiring
Given all the barrage of criticism that Ronaldo had to endure, Messi will be more cautious. Al Hilal's offer is really good and Messi would at least fancy playing in the SPL a few times. And the players do deserve these sort of payments. Legends such as Messi and Ronaldo brings in billions of USD in revenue for their respective clubs and they get only a fraction of that in return. So it is perfectly justifiable if they move to some of the non-European clubs, where the salary is higher. I won't be surprised if Messi makes is move, but won't rule out the possibility.
if messi were to play in these arab countries he would be forgotten by time, all the glory he achieved throughout his career would be reduced so much to the point that he is not even remembered much anymore, i believe that messi knows this very well, that in the world of sport there is something every player needs to have in mind:
knowing when to retire with all the glory he's achieved, and when I talk about retiring I'm talking about retiring once, Messi already has a lot of money, he's already won everything, so it makes more sense that he retires at PSG and doesn't become greedy to go play in the Arab teams because he will not be remembered anymore
i see a lot of people talking about cristiano ronaldo, but in 1 year everyone will forget about him, because he is playing in a league with no quality, just look at ronalidinho gaucho who was an excellent player in the past but who, instead of having retired in milan he went to play in brazil, like so many good brazilian players that were forgotten by time, a player needs to know when to retire in order to continue as a legend. I hope Messi retires at PSG
